Description
- The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing stabilizing mixture in which a stabilizing mixture of uniform density used in excavation work can be produced readily in volume.
- In order to smoothly carry out excavation work for well-digging, lower holes for piles and the like, the excavation work is carried out while pouring into an excavated hole a stabilizing mixture in slurry form produced by mixing stabilizing powder material such as bentonite and water.
- As the apparatus for producing stabilizing mixture of the type as described, stabilizing mixture producing apparatuses B and C shown in Figs. 6 and 7 are known.
- First, the stabilizing mixture producing apparatus B shown in Fig. 6 will be described. The apparatus B is composed of a density regulating
tank 60 interiorly provided with a stirringpump 61 and amud discharging pump 62, and amud preparing tank 63 interiorly provided with amixer 64. - In this arrangement, first,
bentonite 65 andwater 66 are charged into themud preparing tank 63, which are stirred by themixer 64 to produce stabilizing mixture orstabilizer 67. - The stabilizing
mixture 67 is charged into the density regulatingtank 60 and stirred by the stirringpump 61, and the stabilizingmixture 67 formed into a uniform composition by said stirring can be charged into an excavated hole not shown through amud transferring pipe 68. - The stabilizing mixture producing apparatus C shown in Fig. 7 will be described. The apparatus C is composed of a stirring and
mud preparing pump 69 which is larger than the aforementioned stirringpump 61 and amud discharging pump 62. - In this arrangement,
bentonite 65 is charged into the density regulatingtank 60 filled withwater 66, which are stirred and prepared by the stirring and mud preparingpump 69. The stabilizingmixture 67 produced into a uniform composition by said stirring and mud preparation is charged into an excavated hole not shown through themud transferring pipe 68. - However, the above-mentioned stabilizing mixture producing apparatuses B and C still have tasks to be solved as follows.
- (1) In the stabilizing mixture producing apparatus B shown in Fig. 6, an
expensive mixer 64 is required, and therefore the apparatus B itself is costly. In addition, two processes are employed in which after the mud has been prepared by themud preparing tank 63, the mud is regulated by the density regulatingtank 60. Therefore, it takes a considerable time to produce the stabilizingmixture 67 having a uniform composition or no segregation. - (2) On the other hand, in the stabilizing mixture producing apparatus C shown in Fig. 7, the bentonite is directly charged into the density regulating
tank 60 without using themud preparing tank 63 in advance, and thereafter, stirring and mud-preparation take place by use of only one stirring and mud preparingpump 69. Therefore, thebentonite 65 becomes dissolved incompletely so that a large quantity ofbentonite 65 remains on the bottom of the density regulatingtank 60, and particles of thebentonite 65 in the stabilizingmixture 67 become increased in size. - Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a stabilizing mixture producing apparatus which can solve the above-described problems.
- In summary, the present invention provides an apparatus for producing stabilizing mixture comprising a stirring water tank containing water therein, an underwater pump submerged in the water in the stirring water tank, the pump having a suction port and at least one discharge port, the suction port and the discharge ports being opened into the water in the stirring water tank, and a stabilizing material intake pipe having one end connected to a supply source for stabilizing material and the other end connected to the discharge port, whereby the stabilizing material can be sucked into the discharge port due to the negative pressure generated in the discharge port when the underwater pump is driven and vigorously mixed with water to produce a stabilizing mixture of uniform concentration.
- With the above-described construction, the present invention has the following effects:
- (1) In the present invention, when the underwater pump is actuated, water is sucked from the suction port and water is discharged from the discharge ports. Negative pressure produced by said discharge of water is utilized, that is, by the ejector effect, powdery stabilizing material is sucked into the discharge ports through an intake pipe for bentonite or the like and mixed with the discharge water along with air, after which the thus mixed liquid can be discharged out of the discharge ports.
In the above-described operation, the bentonite or the like is readily dissolved into water when the former is mixed with the discharge water, and thereafter, it is discharged from the discharge ports and stirred throughout.
Accordingly, a large quantity of stabilizing mixture having a uniform concentration can be produced rapidly. - (2) Furthermore, since the stabilizing mixture discharged out of the discharge ports has air mixed therein, a powerful stirring flow can be formed within the stirring water tank, and the concentration of the stabilizing mixture can be made further uniform.
